Can you still do Pilates if you have a prolapse or weaker pelvic floor? YES — but sometimes we need to modify. 💗

As an instructor, I've also realised something important. Not everybody wants to walk into class and tell me about their pelvic floor — and they shouldn't have to!

So I'm going to make an even bigger point of giving pelvic-floor-friendly prompts alongside my usual back, neck, wrist and shoulder alternatives. You can quietly choose the version that's right for you and nobody needs to know why.

Basically… style it out. 😂

I've recorded a new 10-minute pelvic-floor & prolapse-friendly Pilates workout to get you moving. Save it, share it with somebody who might need it and come and join me on the mat. 💗

10 MIN PILATES – PELVIC FLOOR & PROLAPSE FRIENDLY 💗

If you've been told you have a weak pelvic floor or prolapse, it can be really tempting to become frightened of exercise.

But you can still exercise and get stronger — it's about choosing the right movements and learning how to manage pressure through your core and pelvic floor.

I've recorded this gentle 10-minute Fitness Pilates workout with pelvic floor and prolapse in mind.

We'll work on strength, mobility and control while avoiding some of the higher-pressure exercises that may not be appropriate for everyone with pelvic floor symptoms.

And remember — 10 minutes absolutely counts! 🙌

Save this one for later, grab your mat and join me. 💗

⚠️ Pelvic floor and prolapse symptoms vary, so if you're experiencing pain, heaviness, bulging, leaking or you're unsure which exercises are appropriate for you, please seek advice from a pelvic health physiotherapist or healthcare professional.

There is NO prize for doing the hardest version! 🙌

One exercise. Different options. And every single one of them counts.

Especially in midlife, exercise isn't about forcing your body into movements that don't feel right just because the person next to you is doing them.

It might mean changing your position, reducing the range of movement, taking pressure off your wrists or back — or progressing the exercise when you're ready for more. 💪

The best version of an exercise is the one that's right for YOUR body today.

That's exactly how I teach my Fitness Pilates classes — both face-to-face and online. 💗

I've written more about exercise after 40 and why modifying an exercise absolutely does NOT mean you're taking the easy option in this week's blog.

And if you've been putting off coming to a class because you're worried you won't be able to keep up — please don't!

That's what the modifications are for.

I have a couple of spaces left in my Pilates classes should you wish to join, particularly the Super Seniors on Tuesday's at 10.45am and my Thursday my 9.30am class.

I can't believe we were outside this morning and how hot it felt. Unbelievable on the 22nd of September and so grateful for the fresh air.

I had a new lady join our senior class and she's going to be great and I'm excited to train her to be able to get to get up and down off the floor herself within a few weeks. It's all there. She just needs a little bit more core strength and confidence and then we're sorted it. It's always such a joy to see these achievements in senior people who have never done Pilates before.

Get in touch if you'd like to join me.

Are you over 50 and think you've left it too late to start lifting weights?

You absolutely haven't. 💪

Strength training in midlife isn't just about looking toned.

I want to be able to carry my own suitcase, get up from the floor, walk for miles on holiday, play sport, travel and keep saying YES to the things I want to do.

THAT'S why strength matters.

And if you've never lifted weights before, you don't need to suddenly become a gym bunny! 😂

Start light. Keep it simple. Build gradually.

I've written a new blog all about why strength training becomes so important after 50 — and how to get started.

Discover why strength training for women over 50 matters and how to start simply with weights, resistance exercise and Fitness Pilates.
